The B17 is still the best plane, I just love it and if I was rich I would own two of them. I would park them in Warrington, Burtonwood (UK) in a hanger. I would name one of them, "Black Swan". Sorry just day dreaming again.

Great vid, sounds like your background music from the game Theme Hospital lol. Really great vid seeing B17's in the air

B17-G's... the Best! I crawled through a resotred B17 a few years ago. took my daughter...
It's hard to imagine what those brave men endured on their missions. Thank God they did.
I met a very old gentleman who had been a B-17 side-gunner..he had lied about his age..flew over Berlin at the age of 17. He said a lot of his frineds did that..lied to get into the fight.
Thanks for this wonderful video..

@mbs169 how about the men and women risking thier life's in iraq and afghanistan..

@traceynorthernstar I agree, the right music could add impact to these clips, period music is a must for archive footage.

Hi. Some great footage of the 92nd. One thing I noticed was the B-17 shown between 3:04 and 3:11 appears to have the Triangle-Y tail marking. This belongs to the 97th BG who were in Italy as part of the 15th AF. I dont know enough to say why the 92nd and 97th appear in the same group of clips - but I know B-17s were swapped between groups in 1942. If you could find a mission in Italy that both groups were on, you may be able to date this, or identify which raid this was.
